Home Tanning Beds
More and more people are opting to buy their own tanning beds rather than frequent a tanning salon. The main reason for this is that over a period of months or years, frequenting a salon can cost you thousands of dollars. That's money you could have spent on your own machine. And then there's the matter of time spent traveling to and from the salon. If you tan often, why not invest in a home tanning bed?
Indoor Tanning Beds
Very recently the World Health Organization issued a statement, backed up by the National Institutes of Health, recommending that no one under the age of eighteen should use an indoor tanning bed, citing tanning bed popularity among youth, high ultraviolet radiation levels in the beds, and a general increase in skin cancer cases.
Whether minors should be prohibited from using indoor tanning beds is a question of politics, but the point on safety is well taken by the majority of the tanning bed industry, as the warnings on their websites can attest.
Indoor tanning beds must be used in moderation. A good rule of thumb is this: If you think your tan looks good, take a break from your tanning schedule.
Residential Tanning Beds
Residential tanning beds run off 120V or 220V power and take the form of two basic designs. Mostly likely the design you buy will be a horizontal tanning bed. Also known as capsules or clamshells, these beds consist of a lid lined with tubular ultraviolet lamps, and a glass or plastic "bench" contoured to fit the body. Set the timer, lie down on the bench, close the lid, rest your head on a pillow and allow the UV light to penetrate your skin.
Relax. Turn your body over one time halfway through your session for even tanning.
Almost as common for home use is the vertical tanning bed, also known as a tanning booth or stand-up. The interior walls are lined with UV lamps to tan you on all sides simultaneously. Just step inside and close the door. A tanning booth tans with twice the speed of a clamshell tanning bed.
Portable tanning beds are also popular in the residential sector.
A portable tanning bed consists of a "canopy" of UV lamps on a wheeled support structure. Position the hydraulically mounted canopy over your favorite deck chair or beach towel and you're golden. The best part: tanning canopies cost half as much as clamshell tanning beds. The down side: canopies don't deliver as high a quality tan as stand-ups or clamshells..
The Benefits of Memory Foam Dog Beds
You may already know that sleeping on memory foam can greatly improve your quality of sleep, reduce the number of aches and pains in your body, and increase your overall circulation. Still, you might not have thought to ask: is your pet comfortable? Many dogs, for example, get aches and pains, especially around the hips. They can experience arthritis and other bone and muscle problems, just like humans. Why not invest in a memory foam dog bed?
Memory foam dog beds are crafted using the same technology as that used for memory foam mattresses, mattress pads, and pillows. Their "open-celled" composition and temperature sensitivity allow for the best balance between comfort and support available.
The only difference is that they are shaped and sized for your dog.
Some manufacturers of memory foam mattresses also make dog beds. Ask your dealer, or inquire at your favorite local pet supplies outlet. You can also buy them online. Memory foam dog beds can...

Now, you need to decide what is the best way to tan without possibly putting your baby in danger. Tanning beds during pregnancy are just as safe as tanning outside in the direct sunlight. At this time there are no studies on the effects of tanning beds on the unborn child, so anything you hear is nothing but myths. The UV light used in tanning beds do not reach the child, therefore your baby is not at risk.
