A tanning bed canopy is essentially the top half of a tanning bed. Also known as canopy tanning beds or simply tanning canopies, these indoor tanning devices might be the perfect solution for your home when a traditional tanning bed is not the answer.

Saving Space

Rather than having to set up a permanent space for your tanning bed, you can simply pull your canopy out of the corner when you need it. In addition, many models allow you to position the tanning lamps at different angles and distances so that you can achieve an optimum tan. And an upright canopy is even more space-efficient.

Saving Money

The average tanning canopy costs about one third of what a tanning bed costs. You will also save money on energy usage and replacement bulbs. A recent search found excellent prices and reviews on the following two models priced $1000 or less:

• The SunQuest Wolff 1000S canopy features six super-efficient Wolff lamps, angled to cover the user with high-output UV rays for full side-to-side dark tanning.
• The SunQuest Wolff 2000S tanning canopy showers you with high-output UV rays for full side-to-side dark tanning. Angled within this curved canopy are 10 super-efficient, Wolff lamps.

In addition, the same search found several used canopies that sold on eBay within the past 30 days for less than $400.

Conclusion

If you are committed to indoor tanning and do not want a full-size tanning bed, a tanning bed canopy may be the answer. They are less expensive to buy and operate, and offer significant space advantages over the alternative.
