No, you don't tan better lying down compared to standing up. The tanning process depends on the exposure to UV rays rather than your position. Tanning beds deliver UV light evenly whether you're lying down or standing. However, lying down might feel more comfortable and result in a more relaxed tanning session. Always remember to follow proper tanning guidelines to protect your skin.
