Ultrasun Q16 tanning bed with hybrid lamps

 

 

If you're opening a tanning salon or upgrading your equipment, you’ve likely come across names like Ergoline, Megasun, and Luxura. These brands all bring something to the table — but how does Ultrasun compare?

 

This blog breaks down the key differences between Ultrasun and other major brands, so you can choose the right tanning solution for your business.

 

1. Function Over Flash

Ultrasun takes a different approach. While other brands focus on luxury features like I-Pad touchscreens or mood lighting, we focus on what matters most to salon owners: reliability, consistency, and ease of use.

 

Our beds are designed to be:

  • Easy to operate for both clients and staff
  • Quick to maintain with minimal training
  • Focused on effective tanning — not just appearances

This keeps your business running smoothly and your customers coming back.

 

2. Professional Results at a Competitive Price

Ultrasun sits in the mid-range segment of the tanning industry — meaning you get professional-grade results without paying for unnecessary extras.

 

Whether you’re a first-time salon owner or managing multiple locations, our beds are built to deliver quality tans, day in and day out. You won’t find excessive gimmicks here — just solid technology backed by years of experience.

3. Built and Supported In-House

All Ultrasun beds are assembled and quality-tested at our headquarters in the Netherlands. That means no outsourcing, no delays, and no generic answers.

 

When you reach out to our team, you’ll speak to people who actually built your machine — not a call center or third-party distributor. We also stock spare parts in-house and we have an online parts database to make your experience even smoother.

 

4. CollaTan & Hybrid Technology Built In

Ultrasun is proud to offer CollaTan and Hybrid lamp configurations across our current bed models — combining tanning results with red-light skincare benefits.

 

This dual approach helps you attract a wider client base, from hardcore tanners to beauty-focused customers who want smoother, more radiant skin after every session.

 

5. Trusted by Salons, Hotels & Distributors Worldwide

Ultrasun has been building high-performance tanning equipment for over 50 years. Our beds are used in salons, gyms, luxury resorts, and spas in more than 70 countries — with reliable delivery, strong service networks, and multilingual support.

 

Final Takeaway

There’s no one-size-fits-all sunbed — but if you’re looking for durable, high-quality equipment without the distractions or price tag of luxury brands, Ultrasun is a smart choice.

✅ Built in Europe
✅ Supported by real experts
✅ Designed for straightforward performance
