Bigger is better
When choosing a tanning bed for your home, consider the size of the largest person who will be using it. Even if someone doesn't normally tan, the convenience of having a home tanning bed might just persuade them to use it. It's always better to have a larger tanning bed than you need than to wish you had bought the next larger size.

Proper tanning coverage
The standard tanning lamp is 71" long, from tip to tip. Subtract about an inch from each end and you have the "Effective Tanning Bulb Length" (ETBL). This means a 6' tanning bed is meant for someone 5' 8" or shorter. Larger tanning beds offset the tanning bulbs over the face area to provide proper coverage over your entire body. The ETBL remains the same, but by offsetting the lamps, a 7' tanning bed will comfortably accommodate a 6' 9" person. Smaller people can tan in larger tanning beds, but taller people will not be comfortable in a smaller bed.

Added features
Not only do the larger beds allow for larger people to tan, they also allow the manufacturer to pack more features inside. The standard tanning lamp is 71" long. As the length of the tanning bed increases, room opens up in the face area to add special facial tanners. These facial tanners provide more tanning power to your face where you need it most.
