There’s been a recent thread on this very subject:

Plumbers for heating pipe insulation wraps, e|Bay for pickup foam...

I use a piece of acoustic foam, the grey type you sometimes find in square panels on recording studio walls. Just a little offcut from one of those. I’ve had the same piece since 1990, just swap it from bass to bass as needed. Tried various different bits of sponge, insulation, etc, but the manky old grey foam is the one for me.
