I've used velcro, works fine

I used a very thick roll, it was about 100 mm accross (thats about 3.5 inches). One side I heat glued to the foam, the other side I stapled to the wall.

The downside is you think that your foam is going to be movable, but if you try to pull it off the wall you'll find that the velcro holds stronger than the glue, so you rip the velcro off the foam, if you follow what I mean.

I bought the velcro from a fabric wholesaler it was about $15 USD for 10 meters (of each side, so $30 all up)

I am about to move the foam to the ceiling, where I don't think velcro will work so well as the foam will sag. I'm thinking of glueing it to thin mdf

I got the foam free and have plenty of DIY panel bass trapping in there too..
