    продавленный?

    What's the closest English translation of this word? It's not in my dictionary, and online translators seem to vaguely see it as meaning "pressed through."

    If it helps, in the context it's describing a chair ("продавленное кресло").

    Maybe: A worn-out chair? A chair that was been well used? A chair that has seen a lot of sitting action?

    These are just guesses

    Ah, "the well-used chair" would make most sense I believe. Thanks for your help.

    You're right that продавленный means 'pressed through'. Продавленное кресло means that there are some kind of dents in it.

    When you sit down on the продавленное кресло you feel your ass fall through.
