con demasiado relleno


Explanation:
overstuffed
of furniture, "completely covered with a thick layer of stuffing," 1904, from over + pp. of stuff (v.).

stuffing = relleno

así que significa esto. Yo diría "un par de sillas con demasiado relleno". No sé si se referirá a que están muy duras porque tienen demasiado relleno, me imagino que sí. Si es el caso, incómodas puede servir también
