Bass traps in a small HT set up?

I am presently using two SVS Sub Ultra 13 front firing subs in a small 10 x 12 room with really very satisfactory results. To eliminate any bass bloom or bloating, I am using a DS Peaker 8033. IMO, I think it does a reasonably good job. I am however, considering adding some bass traps in the corner of the room behind the subs. Does anybody know? Can I expect this kind of tweak, to give me even more improvement?
If so, what are the best kind of bass traps to use?
Remember, it's movies, movies all the way here!

You can expect dramatic results . For $700 of rigid owens corning 2 inch thick 2'x4' you can go floor to ceiling in all 4 corners. google superchunk bass traps. or you can by ready made ones for that price for just one trap that will cover one quarter of one corner .

Hello Bob,
Thank you for your reply.
Forgive my ignorance, but what are room modes?
I am using a Lexicon RX7 and a Yamaha CXA-5000 processor.
My front speakers are a set of Monitor Audio PL100's and GXC350 center. The PL100's sit on to of heavy granite stands on top of each SVS Sub Ultra 13, right and left of the TV & Sunoko Vent AV rack facing me.
I hope this helps. Do you need more info?
Many thanks,
Morgan.

My highest recommendation considering both acoustics and aesthetics would be Vicoustic Super Bass Extreme Bass Traps. I absolutely love mine - tremendous improvement.
