New to The Tan Boutique or unsure which sunbed to choose? With six different beds available, finding the right option can feel a little overwhelming at first.

Although our sunbeds are all designed to deliver an effective tanning experience, they offer different features, temperatures and comfort levels. Some include adjustable settings and beauty-light technology, while others provide extra space, stronger cooling or a more intense tanning environment.

No single sunbed is automatically “the best” for everyone. The right choice depends on your tanning experience, skin type and personal preferences. Here’s a closer look at each of our beds to help you find your perfect match.

Bed 1: Megasun 7800

The Megasun 7800 is a brilliant all-rounder and a popular choice for anyone who prefers a cooler, more controlled tanning session.

This lay-down sunbed features adjustable intensity settings, allowing you to personalise your experience. That makes it particularly suitable for beginners or customers who prefer to start gently and gradually find the setting that feels most comfortable.

It also includes LED beauty lights, often referred to as red light technology. These lights are separate from the UV tanning process and complement the overall experience.

Why choose the Megasun 7800?

• Adjustable intensity settings
• Cooler tanning environment
• LED beauty-light technology
• Comfortable option for new tanners
• Lay-down design with facial tanners

If you’re new to sunbeds or want greater control over your session, Bed 1 could be an excellent place to start.

Bed 2: Megasun P9S

The Megasun P9S offers many of the same features as the Megasun 7800, including adjustable intensity and integrated red light technology.

The main difference is the temperature. The P9S generally feels a little warmer, making it a good option for anyone who enjoys some heat without moving straight to one of our more intense Luxura beds.

Why choose the Megasun P9S?

• Adjustable intensity settings
• Red light beauty technology
• A warmer experience than Bed 1
• Suitable for beginners and experienced tanners
• Comfortable lay-down design

Choose the P9S if you like the features of the Megasun 7800 but prefer a slightly hotter session.

Beds 3 and 4: Luxura Vegaz Twins

Our Luxura Vegaz Twins are spacious, luxurious and perfect for customers who enjoy a hotter, more intense tanning experience.

These beds are noticeably larger than our Megasun models, giving you more room to settle back and relax. They also feature powerful facial tanners, making them especially popular with customers who want a more noticeable tanning experience around the face.

The Vegaz beds do not include red light technology, but they feature hybrid tanning tubes and offer a comfortable, premium session.

Why choose the Luxura Vegaz Twins?

• Spacious luxury tanning beds
• Hotter, more intense environment
• Powerful facial tanners
• Hybrid tanning tubes
• Ideal for more experienced tanners

If you enjoy plenty of room and a seriously warm session, Beds 3 and 4 could be your perfect match.

Bed 5: Luxura Jewel

The Luxura Jewel is our newest arrival and has already become the salon’s celebrity. This TikTok-famous bed uses advanced LED tanning technology, giving it a different feel from our traditional tube-based sunbeds.

Its heat feels almost instant, but the bed also includes our strongest and coolest air-conditioning system. You can therefore enjoy a powerful tanning experience while staying comfortable throughout your session.

The Luxura Jewel also combines red and yellow beauty-light technology with its tanning features. These lights are designed to enhance the overall beauty and wellness experience, although they should not be treated as a medical treatment for any skin condition.

Why choose the Luxura Jewel?

• Advanced LED tanning technology
• Powerful, instant-feeling performance
• Excellent air conditioning
• Red and yellow beauty lights
• Suitable for different tanning experience levels
• Premium lay-down tanning experience

If you want to try our newest technology with maximum cooling and comfort, book the Luxura Jewel.

Bed 6: Luxura V8 Stand-Up Sunbed

The Luxura V8 is our only stand-up sunbed and one of the most spacious options in the salon.

It’s ideal if you don’t enjoy enclosed lay-down beds or prefer the freedom of standing during your session. The spacious interior makes the bed feel more open, while the room’s sound system adds energy to the experience.

The temperature can vary depending on when you visit. For a cooler session, we recommend booking in the morning, ideally before approximately 11 am or midday. If you enjoy a warmer environment, an afternoon or evening appointment may suit you better.

Why choose the Luxura V8?

• Spacious stand-up design
• Great alternative to a lay-down sunbed
• More open environment
• Impressive sound system
• Cooler sessions generally available earlier in the day
• Ideal for customers who want a different tanning experience

How to Choose the Right Sunbed

When deciding which sunbed is best for you, consider:

• Your previous tanning experience
• Whether you prefer a cooler or warmer session
• How much space you like
• Whether you want to lie down or stand
• Your interest in beauty-light features
• Whether adjustable intensity is important to you

Your skin type and previous response to UV exposure are also important. Our team can talk you through the options and recommend an appropriate session based on your tanning history. Never increase your session time simply because a particular bed feels cooler.

Sunbeds emit UV radiation, and no UV tan is risk-free. People under 18 cannot legally use commercial sunbeds in the UK. If you have very fair skin, burn easily, take medication that increases sensitivity to light, have a history of skin cancer or are concerned about a skin condition, seek appropriate medical advice before tanning.

Which Sunbed Is Your Perfect Match?

There’s no single answer to which sunbed is best. Each member of our team has a different favourite, and customers choose beds for all sorts of reasons.

The Megasun 7800 is ideal if you want a cooler, adjustable session. The Megasun P9S offers similar features with a little more heat. Our Luxura Vegaz Twins provide extra space and intensity, while the Luxura Jewel combines advanced technology with powerful air conditioning. If you prefer to stand, the Luxura V8 is the clear choice.

Why not try a few options and see which one feels most comfortable? Your favourite might not be the most talked-about bed—it will be the one that best suits you.

Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the best sunbed at The Tan Boutique?

There is no single best sunbed for every customer. Your ideal bed depends on your experience, skin type, preferred temperature and whether you want features such as adjustable intensity, beauty lights or a stand-up design.

2) Which sunbed is the hottest?

Our Luxura Vegaz Twins deliver one of the hottest, most intense experiences. The Luxura Jewel also feels powerful, but its strong air-conditioning system helps keep you cool.

3) Which sunbed has the best air conditioning?

The Luxura Jewel has our strongest and coolest air-conditioning system, making it a great choice if you want a powerful session without feeling uncomfortably hot.

4) Which sunbed is best for beginners?

The Megasun 7800 and Megasun P9S are popular with beginners because they offer adjustable intensity settings. Speak to our team before your first session so we can help you choose an appropriate bed and exposure time.

5) Which sunbeds have red light technology?

The Megasun 7800, Megasun P9S and Luxura Jewel include beauty-light technology. These features may complement your experience, but they should not be presented as treatments for acne, eczema, psoriasis or other medical conditions.

6) Which sunbed is best if I feel claustrophobic?

The Luxura V8 may feel more comfortable because it is a spacious stand-up sunbed. It lets you stay upright and can feel more open than a traditional lay-down bed.

7) Do hotter sunbeds give you a better tan?

Not necessarily. The heat you feel doesn’t directly tell you how much UV exposure you are getting. Always follow the recommended exposure time rather than choosing a session based on temperature.

8) Can I use a sunbed if I have a skin condition?

Speak to your GP or dermatologist before using a sunbed if you have a diagnosed skin condition. Don’t use commercial tanning beds as a substitute for medically supervised light therapy.
