tempón

A tempón is a type of large, inflatable air mattress designed for outdoor recreation, particularly camping. These mattresses are typically constructed from durable, waterproof materials like nylon or polyester and are inflated using integrated pumps or separate air pumps. The primary function of a tempón is to provide a comfortable and insulated sleeping surface for campers, separating them from the cold, hard ground.

Tempóns vary in size, from single-person models to larger ones capable of accommodating two or more people. Many models feature an internal structure that provides support and prevents the mattress from deflating completely if punctured. Some tempóns also include features such as built-in pillows or adjustable firmness settings to enhance user comfort. Their portability is a key advantage, as they can be deflated and rolled or folded into a compact size for easy transport in a backpack or vehicle. The ease of inflation and deflation, combined with their comfort and insulation properties, makes tempóns a popular choice for campers seeking a more comfortable outdoor sleeping experience compared to traditional sleeping bags or foam pads. They are often used in conjunction with tents to create a more home-like sleeping environment in nature.
