The fiberglass 'glass wool' slabs used mostly for heat insulation
should work well. They usually have one side covered with paper.
Put that side to the wall, and cover the 'fluffy' side with some
thick tissue or curtain. 

If you have a free corner, cover at least 2m on each side. Also
good for recording vocals, with a directional mic pointing into
the corner.
