agree Andrew Bramhall : Interesting the answerer below thinks " colchón" is a blanket, rather than what it actually is, a mattress;

(la) butaca maquinaria pesada

Needs to chime with the weighted blanket: colcha or manta contrapesada / colchón de contrapeso, or whatever label is more ftting in Argentina.

Perhaps it is better to insert the maquinaria between butaca and pesada, even if humans - rather than armchairs - are considered pesados : boring and a nuisance.....
Example sentence:

The Magic Weighted Blanket – Manta, contrapesada

Note from asker:
Thank you Adrian, although my question was not about the weighted blanket, but the weighted armchair, thank you anyway!
