Acoustic treatment


I want to build my own bass traps and was wondering if there are any other alternatives to fiberglass and rokwool. Foam is not a consideration as I don't believe it has the necessary qualities for absorption. I have heard of cotton batting, does anyone have experience with this material. The idea of fiberglass makes me itch just thinking about it, but I'm resigned to using it or rokwool if that's all I have.  Please make suggestions and let me know your experiences.

Thanks

This is one of the weirdest fantasy land treads I've ever read on A-Gon.So much bad information that it should be deleted.  Magic thimbles as room treatment?  Shear pressures?  Electromagnetism in sound waves? 
Can't hear bass below 80hz?  That knuckle head needs to get his hearing checked.

MurphyTheCat nailed it.

OP, Read the tests on BobGold's site to get information about which materials work better at absorbing bass.  You are on the right track.  The source of the problem is the room.  Fix that. 
Ignore all the other blather about hocus pocus mystical forces at work.
