Thanks everyone for your answers.

If I'm not mistaken, blanket insulation appears to be cheaper than the more rigid sheets. In order to save costs would it be a good idea to use sheeting across the corner and fill the space behind with the cheaper blanket filling. Or would the blanket compress too much under its own weight? Unless you could use vertical runs (stand the insulation on end rather than stacking wedges on top of each other as done here) and glue them together to reduce sagging?

Hi Blue...Using corner chunks for bass traps can get quite expensive here with Australian products...
I used 4 layers of 2" semi rigid fibreglass..
The inner layer is about 150mm wide and fits into the corners, and each layer gets progressively wider, to form a sort of a wedge shape, with a small amount of air space between each layer.

If you want to use the US OC703 equivalent for your corner traps, you will need Bradfords "Supertel" fibreglass..
It comes in 1200x2400 2" thick sheets. costs about $70.00/sheet.

Doing it this way you will only need one sheet per corner..
