How we chose and ordered the list
A bed is on the list for one reason: we have installed it, and the installation is written
up in our case studies. That leaves out models we only know from a brochure, and it is why
Luxura beds are not here.
The order comes from one figure. Each manufacturer publishes the maximum power a bed draws,
and the electrical supply is usually the first limit a salon hits. A bed that asks for less
leaves room for the next one. Use the salon planner to test
your own building.
Where a manufacturer gives two figures we used the higher. The J Sunbeds Zenith has no power
figure on this site, so it is listed last and is not placed by hand.

Power figures are the highest in each manufacturer document and usually include air
conditioning. They are planning figures for the maker's maximum, so the figure for one unit can
differ, and an electrician confirms your supply. Our guide to
three-phase power and ventilation
explains why.
The eight beds
- Highest published power
- 7.8 kW with Comfort AC (6.5 kW without air conditioning)
- Fuse per phase
- 3 x 25 A, K-type breaker with RCD
- Size
- Bed 230 x 145 cm
- Room
- Minimum 250 x 240 cm, recommended 270 x 260 cm
Who it suits. A salon whose electrical supply is the tightest limit. It asks the least of the supply of any lay down on this list.
Watch for. The Loft version needs a higher ceiling (285 cm in the manufacturer's data), and the Select and Plus versions draw up to 9.55 kW. Deluxe Tanning Studio added a K11 seven months after opening, so ask which version is quoted.

- Highest published power
- 12.3 kW with air conditioning, 11.0 kW without
- Fuse per phase
- 3 x 25 A, K-type breaker with RCD
- Size
- Bed 230 x 148 cm
- Room
- Recommended 250 x 220 cm
Who it suits. A salon adding one premium lay down to a room that is not generous. The recommended room is the shortest front to back of any lay down here.
Watch for. The 12.3 kW figure includes air conditioning. Confirm whether the quoted unit has it, because that changes the draw your electrician plans for.

- Highest published power
- 12.5 kW maximum
- Fuse per phase
- 3 x 25 A, K-type breaker with RCD
- Size
- Bed 240 x 150 cm
- Room
- Recommended 260 x 230 cm
Who it suits. An owner upgrading from an older bed who wants a P series model and has a room of about 2.6 x 2.3 metres.
Watch for. It needs a larger room than the K9S for almost the same power. Check the room first.
Source, read 2 November 2026: megaSun P9S folder (PDF)
- Highest published power
- 14.5 kW in the current folder; the 2019 manual gives 14.56 kW with air conditioning
- Fuse per phase
- 3 x 25 A, K-type breaker with RCD
- Size
- Bed 240 x 150 cm
- Room
- Recommended 260 x 230 cm
Who it suits. A salon with supply to spare that wants the P series flagship.
Watch for. Two manufacturer documents give slightly different kW figures, so the list uses the higher one. Ask for the figure for the exact unit.

- Highest published power
- 15 kW nominal with air conditioning
- Fuse per phase
- 3 x 25 A, K-type breaker with RCD
- Size
- Bed 238 cm long; width figures differ between sources, so confirm before planning
- Room
- No room size published in the folder
Who it suits. A salon replacing an unreliable older bed, as Platinum Tanning did, that also wants the hybrid lamp mix.
Watch for. Hybrid is a manufacturer's label with no standard definition. Read the hybrid sunbed guide first and ask for the lamp counts of the exact model. See Hybrid sunbed systems explained.

- Highest published power
- 16.8 kW with Climatronic
- Fuse per phase
- 3 x 35 A, time-delay (slow) fuses
- Size
- Bed 242 x 155 cm
- Room
- Cabin 250 x 230 cm
Who it suits. A salon that wants Ergoline Prestige and has a supply built for 35 A per phase.
Watch for. The fuse rating is higher than the megaSun beds above, and it is a different protection type. An electrician needs to confirm the supply before you order.

- Highest published power
- 17.8 kW with Climatronic
- Fuse per phase
- 3 x 35 A, time-delay (slow) fuses
- Size
- Bed 238 x 152 cm
- Room
- Cabin 250 x 230 cm
Who it suits. A salon that wants Ergoline Prestige and is happy to buy a previous generation model, which is mostly supplied reconditioned.
Watch for. It draws the most power on this list. The model is a legacy one, so ask what work was done and what paperwork comes with the bed. See New vs reconditioned sunbeds.

- Highest published power
- No power figure published on this site
- Fuse per phase
- Ask us for the data sheet of the exact unit
- Size
- Stand ups typically need about 2.0 x 1.8 m
- Room
- About 2.0 x 1.8 m for stand ups in general
Who it suits. A salon with a small room or a busy floor, where a stand up fits better than a lay down.
Watch for. We have no manufacturer power figure for it on this site, so it cannot be placed in the order above. Get the electrical data in writing before you plan the supply. See Lay down vs stand up sunbeds.
Before you shortlist
Commercial sunbeds are for adults only. Customers must be 18 or over, and the
UK sunbed regulations guide sets out the rules by nation.
Tell us the room and the supply
Send the room size and what your electrician says about the supply, and we will say which
of these beds fit.
Ask which bed fits my room Questions salon owners ask
Which commercial sunbed is best for a UK salon?
It depends on the room and the electrical supply. This list does not name one winner. It orders the beds J Solutions supplies by the power each needs, so you can see which fit your supply first. The salon planner does the same sum for your own building.
Do all of these sunbeds need a 3-phase supply?
Most commercial megaSun and Ergoline equipment does. The fuse ratings in the table are per phase, and an electrician should confirm your supply for the exact model. See the three-phase power and ventilation guide.
Are these beds new or reconditioned?
J Solutions supplies both, depending on the model. Older models such as the Ergoline Prestige 1600 are mostly supplied reconditioned. The new vs reconditioned guide explains what to ask for.
Why are some sunbeds not on the list?
Every bed here has an installation written up in our case studies. Other models in the salon planner, including Luxura beds, are not listed because we have no installation write-up for them on this site. Ask us if you want one of those.
How much do commercial sunbeds cost?
Prices depend on the model and whether it is new or reconditioned, and they are on the prices page. Finance starts from £220 + VAT per month, subject to status, equipment value and finance approval.
How do I work out whether a sunbed would pay for itself?
Enter your own bed price, session price and costs in the payback calculator. It assumes no income and stores nothing.
Last checked 2 November 2026. Manufacturers revise ranges, so confirm the figures for the exact
unit quoted to you. This page is a summary for business owners and does not replace an electrician's advice.
