In a standing bed you can move more freely; for example, you can raise your arms. This gives you a more even tan all over. The lamps are also different; they have a special reflector that helps to spread all rays more evenly. Thus, stand-up beds produce a better quality tan. Another benefit of stand up tanning beds, that ensures a more even tan, is that there are no pressure points. Stand up beds use stronger bulbs. As a result, sessions in a stand up bed are shorter, which saves you time.
