Salons: What to Expect When You Add Foot Support to Your Tanning Beds

Upgrading your tanning beds doesn’t always mean investing thousands in new equipment. Sometimes, it's the small, strategic additions that elevate the client experience — like adding foot support. Whether you're a salon owner or manager, this simple enhancement can make a noticeable impact from day one.

Here’s what you can expect when you add foot cushions like the Tanshon to your tanning beds.

Clients Will Notice the Difference — Immediately

The first thing you’ll hear? “Oh wow, this is so much more comfortable.”

Most tanning beds support the head via a head pillow, but leave the feet resting on a hard acrylic surface. Adding a cushion relieves pressure

on the heels and lower legs, allowing clients to fully relax — even during longer sessions.

It Complements, Not Complicates, Your Setup

Adding a Tanshon doesn’t mean changing your entire bed layout. It’s a low-profile cushion designed to work alongside existing headrests, not replace them.

Better still:

  • It’s lightweight and foldable
  • Sanitizes easily between uses
  • Fits both lay-down and stand-up tanning beds

And if a client doesn’t want to use it, they can simply move it to the side. Easy peasy.

Increased Client Comfort = Stronger Loyalty

When clients feel cared for — not just serviced — they remember it. Small touches like a foot cushion send a clear message: you’ve thought about their comfort. That leads to:

  • More repeat visits
  • Better online reviews
  • Word-of-mouth referrals

It’s One of the Easiest “Upgrades” You Can Make

Unlike major equipment purchases, foot cushions are affordable, non-invasive, and maintenance-free (other than disinfecting after each use like the headrest). There’s no training needed, no technical setup — just an instant, noticeable improvement in client comfort.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for a simple, effective way to elevate your tanning beds — adding foot support is a smart place to start. The Tanshon brings a surprising level of comfort with zero hassle, helping clients relax and remember your salon for all the right reasons.
