The foam bits could also be coming from the seat backs. Triumph used a
sort of compressed foam consisting of tiny particles pressed /glued
together for the parts of the seat backs that cradle you (sides), and
these eventually deteriorate into a crumbling mess that ends up on the
floor of your car.

Rebuilding seats can be a demanding job. I guess it's a trade off between
your ability (and patience), and your budget. You have to have ask
yourself who will do the better job within those constraints.
