Acoustic pannels needed to stop sub from booming

Hello,

After much experimenting with the position of the subwoofer I have found that it sounds best when positioned sideways against the wall with the speaker pointing to the right and the port pointing to the left. When I first tried it in this position it sounded boomy but after placing some pillows around it it now sounds tighter and less echoey.

It's clear that I need to use some sort of sound deadening material along the skirting boards, in the corner and under my desk. Could anyone advise me what kind of foam or matting would work well for this purpose.

Seriously, I have no life.
You need something thick and vertical, placed in the corners. Then, and only then, can you really look for the best placement of the woofer.

ATS has some attractive solutions but for that space I'd look at some foam corner bass traps. But before spending a penny I'd gather your pillows and pile them up 3-4' tall in the corners to see if bass traps will solve the problem.
