I simply attached the batting to the wall with push pins. Easy to remove, easy enough to fix holes when it's time to move. I've never felt the need to have styrofoam.
I just bought some flannel which I pinned to the wall over my closet doors -- no available wall space -- and discovered quickly that it's not sticky enough, especially if the ceiling fan is on, ha!

I think batting would probably be much better.
