5 differences between a standing and a lying solarium

Planning to go to a tanning bed? If so, you need to decide which bed you want to use. Is a standing bed better than a lying one? Learn more!
Standing or lying tanning bed?
UV rays intensity
While lying-down tanning beds are typically equipped with 100-120W bulbs, standing ones have 160W bulbs. This means you'll tan faster using standing beds. If you're looking for instant results, they're the perfect choice.
Tan evenness
The difference between a lying and a standing bed can also be seen in the resulting tan. If you know how to position your body properly for an even tan, you can confidently opt for a lying bed. However, if you've never used a tanning bed before, choose a standing bed. This will ensure a uniform result.
Tanning session time
Remember to adjust your tanning session to the power of the bulbs. The bulbs in lying-down beds are less powerful, so you'll need to tan for longer. Standing booths have higher UV radiation, so you can spend less time in them.
Facial tanning
Reclining tanning beds have special features that help you tan your face better. Vertical models don't. If you prefer reclining tanning beds but don't care about tanning your face, it's worth checking whether the lamps can be turned off—in many cases, they can.
Comfort
Comfort depends on personal preference. In stand-up booths, you should raise your arms to achieve an even tan. This is different for lying-down booths, where you simply lie down. However, keep in mind that your tan may not be as even.
What about sunbathing?
Regardless of which bed you choose, use the right tanning lotions . They'll not only give your skin a stunning, sun-kissed glow, but also ensure optimal hydration. Which tanning lotion should you choose?
