Flipping over in a tanning bed is generally not necessary. Most modern tanning beds are designed to provide even tanning on both sides without the need to flip, thanks to evenly distributed UV bulbs and reflective surfaces. To ensure an even tan, lie still and follow the recommended exposure times. If you have specific areas that are difficult to tan, you may use targeted tanning strategies instead.
