Bench seat rebuild? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am about to rebuild (new cover and foam) my original 71 bench seat.
I took the old cover off and found some stuff that I don't know if it should go back in there when reassemble the seat.
In addition to the cushion there was
1. A thin layer of foam between the cover and the cushion.
2. A thin layer (actually two layers on driver side) of foam under the cushion.
3. A carpet between the cushion and the springs.
4. An extra cushion stuffed in the spring on the driver’s side.
I suspect this is an attempt from a PO to “rebuild” the seat.
I wonder if any of these should go back in or if I will be good with just the new cushion?
