Tanning at home can be a wonderfully relaxing experience. A home tanning bed can become a private retreat from the rigors of everyday life. Many people especially enjoy tanning on cold winter days when the sun rarely peaks out through gloomy clouds.

Following are what we like to refer to as the 5 C's of home tanning: Convenient, Clean, Comfortable, Confidential and Cost Effective.

Convenient

Let's face it. These days we are all busy. Between kids, work, shopping and chores we barely have enough time for our families, let alone ourselves. The last thing we need is another appointment to schedule.

Owning a home tanning bed means you can tan on your own terms. No longer do you have to schedule a tanning appointment. Tan when you want: first thing in the morning before your shower, after you put the kids to bed to give yourself time to unwind before bed, whenever YOU like.

Clean

Tanning salon managers are supposed to clean and disinfect every tanning bed after each session during the day. How much do you trust the girl behind the counter to clean the tanning bed to your satisfaction. Owning your own home tanning bed means you know who used it and how well it was cleaned before you get in.

Comfortable

Perfect Sun home tanning beds have been designed with the tanner in mind. The curved tanning surface cradles your body for a relaxing experience.

Plus you are tanning in a familiar place which has been shown to reduce stress.

Confidential

Getting undressed in a store fitting room is not a relaxing experience. Why would you want to remain undressed in an unfamiliar room for 20-30 minutes. Home tanning beds offer privacy a tanning salon can not possibly assure. And you don't have to endure judgement from extremely tan people as you walk to and from the salon tanning room, whether it's imagined or not.

Cost Effective

Contrary to popular belief, home tanning beds are very cost effective. A typical home tanning bed only costs pennies per session. Think about how much you would spend on tanning salon memberships. If only one person in your household tans, it may not make sense to own a tanning bed. But when two or more people tan, even occasionally, tanning salon dues can really add up. Why pay for someone else's tanning bed when you can buy your own? And tanning salon dues never end.
