Blanket Game

Anyone have any opinion or experience with using acoustically absorbent blankets? Think like moving blankets and the such.

Something like this

I have what I think is a perfect application for this which would make things easy for me but this will only be an option if it is actually effective at reducing echo.

I know this will not really address specific frequencies, I am just trying to achieve a cumulative effect combining absorption panels.

So this is the area I was considering. It seems like a really easy way to acoustically treat this alcove behind the TV.

Acoustic blankets are less ideal than fiberglass or mineral for a given thickness, but they are better than nothing. Typically in home studios they are used as sound barriers rather than in room acoustics, but they do offer decent midrange and treble absorption.
