overstuffed

Overstuffed is an adjective used to describe something that contains too much of a particular substance, often to the point of being uncomfortable, excessive, or beyond its capacity. This term can be applied to a variety of objects and situations.

In the context of furniture, an overstuffed chair or sofa is one that is excessively padded with soft materials like foam or down. While often associated with comfort and a plush feel, an item can be considered overstuffed if the amount of filling makes it difficult to sit or move comfortably, or if it appears bloated and shapeless.

Figuratively, "overstuffed" can refer to something that is packed too full or contains too many elements. For example, a meal could be described as overstuffed if it has an excessive amount of filling, such as an overstuffed burrito or an overstuffed pastry. Similarly, a presentation or a story might be considered overstuffed if it is laden with too much information or too many subplots, making it difficult to follow or digest. The term implies a lack of balance and a sense of being beyond reasonable limits.
