Most vendors will suggest the size of the room you might need based on the equipment being purchased. From what I have seen, your rooms all seem large enough for most standard beds.

Our rooms are 6x8 and we have base beds and ergoline 10 min beds. We have one room that is 8x10 for our 15 min bed. We had to have atleast one handicap accesible room. Like SunSplash said check with whoever you are getting your equipment from.

Here is one of the many considerations that will make you better or worse than your competition. Room size effects your presentation, comfort and room temperature as well as service and cleaning. Making rooms smaller just to get an extra room will hurt you in the long run. The room sizes you mentioned are fine if they are already built. If not consider some adjustments.

When I built 5.5 yrs. ago I went with rooms that were 8 x 7.5. Now I wish I had gone at least a foot larger in both directions. Seems units are getting longer and wider. Ask the manufacturer for minimum room size and give yourself another foot for future changes. (Larger units)

should I consider the 7' x 9.5' room for a stand up unit ?

We just built 2 tanning rooms and went 8 x 10. I know that they could of been made smaller, but time you put a bed. Add a chair for them to sit in and also a 4 shelf bookcase it still looks small. The main reason I did this is for better ventilation for the beds.

As mentioned ealier, The beds are getting bigger every year. If I was going to open a location all rooms would be 10 x 10. More room better air, faster cool down.
