OK, I did some more research on this.
seems there IS such a filter!
it requires removing the "seatback board". the filter is attached directly to the climate controlled seat blower motor.
took a screenshot (pardon the quality)of the clips/pawls that need to be accessed to remove the seatback.
bear in mind this is for a 2012 qx. the 2017/18 armada should be the same.
EDIT: theres TWO filters per seat: one for the seatback (for your back) and one for the sleat cushion.
both are circular, according to the service manual exploded view.
so it seems , based on petites link, there's different designs.
since the armada and qx are based on the patrol and are made on the same line in japan, it makes compelling speculation that the filters are circular and not square.
since the op has an armada, op should contact nissan and ask for the part number for the seat cushion blower motor filter, and we can cross reference from there.

This is really news to me.
Found this on how to replace it on a Infiniti sedan. I am guessing it should be the same on our cars. Pics are always a great way to share things.

Xy,
were the panels on the back of the seats difficult to remove? what tool(s) did you use and would recommend.
what year is your car and how long have you had it if purchased used?
something else to think about is if the perforations in the seats are clogged. this can cause more issues with the seats ventilating than the filter.

ya i've got the factory manual--just wanted to ask you directly on how that whole process went. thanks for sharing. impressive mods bro!
Hate to bring up an old thread but any way to get a pic of the part numbers for ventilated seat blower. Tried searching here to see about people adding the blower to non vented seats. I'm looking at buying a '19 now and it is hard to find one with vented seats. I'll try searching again but has anyone successfully done it? It would be pretty amazing if it could be installed by just removing the back plate as my q70 i had to remove the whole seat. I appreciate the help and I apologize if I completely missed a thread dealing with this. On a side note on my Q70 I've been running without a filter for quite some time without any clogging issues however the lower is on the bottom of the seat.

you can get the service manual and find the part numbers that way, or choose an online site and get them. OR call the dealer.
