1983 back seat question

I have a question: my wife has a 1983 firebird, 2.8 , auto, t-tops. The car had sat for some time and the tops had leaked, allowing water to destroy the rear seats.
I found some rear seats , from a 1985 firebird, but they are different. The back is one piece, while my wife's is two flold forward pieces, and the bottom bucket pieces seem slightly smaller than my wife's. Every car I looked at at the wreckers was like this, I could not find a match for my wife's car.
What gives please?

Frank

Thank's for the reply. Yah, it all fits fine, just looks a bit different. I didn't notice it, the woman did.
It seems as though the one piece back is narrower through the shoulder area than the two piece. It also seems as though the bottoms are slightly smaller than the ones that came with the car. Just a bit more space between the seats and the plastic side moldings.
Unfortunatly I don't have the original seats to compare them any more.
Just wondered if anyone else had noticed this or if it was just me.
