Tanning Bed Equipment

Whether you own a commercial tanning salon and have a variety of different tanning beds or own your own home tanning bed, you will be eventually faced with the necessity of buying tanning bed equipment. For commercial salons there are several additional pieces of tanning bed equipment that may be required in order to keep customers safe and the business protected. With a home tanning bed you will likely be looking at replacement parts and accessories designed for your comfort and convenience.

A timer and manager is a type of tanning bed equipment that is generally used in tanning salons. This device allows you to automatically start the bed and control it, which can be handy for salon workers. You can vary each tanning session based on specifications for additional control and safety. The unit itself can hold over one hundred beds and is fully expandable so it can be used as the business grows. The management tool allows salon owners to track their time usage. Bulb hours can be counted so that budgeting and planning for replacement bulbs can be arranged. It can also count the number of sessions on each bed to track profitability of each bed.

Tanning pillows are used for both home tanning and salon tanning. This tanning bed equipment provides support for the neck and back so you do not have aches or stiffness in muscles. This is especially handy for those who tan often as laying down in the tanning bed without support can be uncomfortable if done for longer stretches. For home use, the primary concern is comfort since one person will only use the tanning pillow and most pillows are designed so they can be cleaned fairly easily. With commercial tanning salons, however, it is more important to ensure a sanitary product using materials that will not absorb sweat and oils and can be cleaned easily after each tanning session.

Lights are probably the most common piece of tanning bed equipment that is needed for both home and commercial use. Although tanning bed lights will last a long time, they will need to be replaced periodically as they go out just like any other light bulb. The lights are relatively inexpensive on a per light basis and you can get bulk discounts for purchasing larger quantities for a tanning salon.

There are various other pieces of tanning bed equipment that is also available and will be used depending on your needs. Warning signs, replacement parts, management equipment, goggles, cooling fans and sanitation equipment are among the more popular pieces of tanning bed equipment that are used frequently. These items can typically be purchased at your local tanning bed supplier and some equipment can be found in sporting good stores. Searching online can generally lead to greater discounts as well.
