I am sure your foam is part of the problem but most likely the major problem is the outer most seat spring.
that spring mounts to seat frame on side front to back and then goes up towards the seat bottom and hooks into the front to back spring webbing. When this side spring snaps it collapses the whole side. I have recovered 3 of these bench seats so I have seen this personally on quite a few. The last seat I recovered the po had used hose clamps to try and hold that portion back together.
