Memory foam as bass treatment?

Greetings 

The memory foam will absorb some frequencies and can cut back on reflections. 
You need to give it a try.
Maybe start in the corners, or first reflection points. I don’t think they will absorb the low low frequencies.
We all have to start somewhere. Hopefully you will eventually move up the food chain and acquire devices that are specifically made to treat audio rooms.

I have tried numerous absorption and diffuser devices over the years. The only DIY ones that remain in my room are the 20” tube traps that I built and the diffuser cones on the front wall.

The ones specifically manufactured for room acoustics works the best.

Give it a try, you got nothing to lose and maybe something to gain.

Yes, but like all bass traps, needs to be placed well.

Thanks, guys.  

I did some research after posting (should probably have done that first) and the consensus was that it isn’t too effective.

I have lots of GIK panels but was considering ordering a few more and I have this mattress taking up space so thought I might cut it up.  Have since decided not to and order a few more instead.

@audiodwebe That’s the best way to go. 
I like the GIK devices. Their prices are reasonable?

I really like the GIK products (244 with and without the scatter plate).  I've got 10 in my small room, which I think is 13x14.  

Their prices are reasonable.  It's the shiiping that sucked!
