>        ...I had used lightweight foamboard (like framing stores sell).

    20 years ago I purchased a foamcore material intended for use as an
    insulation layer under vinyl siding.  It came as a fanfolded strip
    4ft wide and 50ft long with each section measuring approximately 2ft
    x 4 ft.  I cut it into sections, covered the 2x4 ft. panels in
    fabric and clipped into my Abstracta framework to make walls; I
    still use them for pads in display cases.  This material or
    something similar must still be available.   Art store foam core can
    be quite expensive while this stuff was very cheap - and
    exceptionally light for those concerned about shipping costs. 

    The fanfold aspect of the material presents limitations but it might
    also spark a creative solution.
