You might try the Foam Factory; they are easy to deal with, inexpensive, have online ordering, quick turn around and can ship anywhere.
They are NOT a typical audiophile-oriented acoustic room treatment supplier. Nevertheless, they are equipped to cut foam for this purpose.

Their main business is in supplying seat cushions for all the Michigan folks who have boats on the nearby lake and cabins "up North". They also do custom mattresses (from "medical memory", visco-elastic foam). They are used to working with custom requests. I'd be willing to bet that even with shipping to Massachusetts, they'd cost you far less than anyone else you might find.

Use your imagination; they'll work with you.

Yep, this Foam Factory look good and the prices are very good, thanks. They do not have the right light colors that I would like to have.  When I spoke with others they had a bit higher prices but as soon I mention that I need custom size (8 by 72) then they wanted almost $300 per sheet - ridicules! I might get standard sheet and to make my own wire cutter…

Rather than absorbing, you might consider diffusing via thick, wooden slat blinds (in a light-colored wood for that "airy" feeling). Good ones are expensive, so you'd want to verify by doing an experiment before investing. They do not visually choke off the room unless completely closed, which you'd likely never do, as they woldn't be much good as diffusers unless partially open.

I was thinking about them already and I have some other options as well.

what is impact of TV between speaker?  I too assume it is only bad, so have never experimented with having TV in and then taking it out. Are you saying it can have good effect?

A TV between speaker makes imaging very primitive, I never seen before that a “screen” between speaker added so much HF noise being so much being. I presume the size of the “screen” matters or the cathedral ceiling somehow focuses the HF back to the “screen”….
