Learn to sew???

Pictures would be helpful, but I don't think there is anything out there that will completely conceal a rip in cloth. Sewing it up will at least prevent it from becoming bigger.

I'm no seamstress but you can probably get a decent repair with an iron-on patch or fabric tape. You'd fit it inside the cloth, align the edges of the tear, then use an iron to set the adhesive. I don't know what temperature might start melting the foam, so you'd probably want to test first in an "inconspicuous location".
