Mine did the same thing. I ordered the driver's side armrest and had my local mechanic install it for $50. The armrest with the below link is $76. Hope this helps!!

I bought a new driver door armrest online for $57 and having my dealer install Friday with my new tires.

The center armrest can only be ordered as the whole upper hinged compartment which runs $360-$460. My dealer replaced mine 2 years ago under warranty when it bubbled and the replacement is still like new.

If it happens again I am sure I can find an interior upholsterer to re-cover the center armrests with real leather and better padding for less than that replacement cost.

Same thing happened here.

I dropped my armrest off to be redone in real leather, I'll post up pics in a few days.
