Sanchez,
"Rigid" fiberglass products are Owens Corning 703 0r 705, or Certainteed 300 , etc. It is NOT foam board, like the pink stuff or the less rigid white stuff. It is not foam at all as a matter of fact. And, many people confuse this.
Here is a photo of some Owens Corning 703 fiberglass acoustical insulation:

This material can be found on the web, through DIY companies, and via local retailers. Wrapping this insulation in breathable fabric and affixing a strap to the fabric to hang it off your wall or in your room corners is an easy option. You want bass traps made of such materials (4" thick) to straddle your four corners because this is where low frequency modes gather. "Trapping" them (then coverted to heat) means you minimize the amount of muddiness you'll experience elsewhere in your room. Less waves bouncing around=a clearer sound picture in your ears. Treating for HF or slap echo on walls adjacent to your listening position will help you additionally to hear that which your music craves, and not a blurred picture of the end result. Treating your room like the one in the diagram shown here is ideal:

That image also shows treatment of the early reflection points as well as "straddled" corners mentioned above.
Good luck!
