Looking To Buy An Indoor Tanning Bed – Here Are The Answers To Your Common Questions

If you’re looking to buy an indoor tanning bed, there are likely a few questions running through your head, like what kind of bed you should buy, how much you should pay, and what kind of features should you look for. In this article, we’re going to cover some of the most commonly asked questions about buying an indoor tanning bed.

Q: Are some tanning beds safer than others?
A: In short, yes. Studies have shown that many commercial tanning beds emit x-ray radiation that can be harmful to your health from the end of the bulbs, so not all tanning beds are created equal. If you’re looking for a bed that doesn’t emit x-rays, you can find a good selection of safe indoor tanning beds here.

Q: Should I buy a new or used indoor tanning bed?
A: Depending on your budget and what you can find, it’s really up to you. However, you should know that used tanning beds seldom come with a warranty, so there is a risk involved when you purchase used. In addition, newer tanning beds tend to be less upkeep, and bulbs will last much longer before you have to replace them. They also feature newer technology, and can be safer than used tanning beds.

Q: What kind of prices do indoor tanning beds go for?
A: Depending on where you look, you can find used tanning beds for anywhere from $900 to $5,000 on eBay, Amazon, or from independent dealers. New tanning beds usually start at around the $1,200 mark and can go up to $20,000 for a high end commercial quality bed. One way to save money is to look for wall or door mounted beds, which are less expensive and take up much less space as an added bonus. You can find a good selection of door-mounted indoor tanning beds here.

Q: What type of warranty should I be looking for?
A: As we’ve mentioned, if you buy a used indoor tanning bed, there’s a good chance you won’t get a warranty at all, which is why we typically recommend buying new. Buying a new tanning bed typically comes with a 5 year manufacturers warranty, but this can vary depending on where you buy from. It’s very important to find out what kind of warranty is offered before you buy a bed, because there’s nothing worse than throwing your money down the drain on a bed that unexpectedly breaks down.
