Locate an apolstery shop in your area. Removing the seat bottom is not difficult, and they can reinforce/restitch it, plus add some foam to the seat.
My guess is that the stitching has come loose at the section closest to the door, where the driver slides in/slides out? If its the grey cloth, PM me; I have a replacement in good shape.

I took mine to an automotive upholstery shop. Had the seat fixed. 2 holes in a panel on a rer seat, a hole in the carpet beneath the gas pedal, and the console lid covered with vinyl. Looked like new and cost less than $200

needle and upholstery thread have worked great for me.
Not a permanent solution but simple and VERY inexpensive.
