Hey, and welcome.
Broadly speaking the best places to start are corners and first reflection points (any flat surface where you could put a mirror and see your speakers) but really we'd need more info about your room size and shape, and, of course, what you mean by foam.
Take a stroll through the studio building forum. There's a lot of info there.

...and the answer is "in the garbage".

Thanks MJ, didn't see that.
OP. Rami might sound unhelpful but his advice really is the best.
This foam will do nothing desirable for a mixing environment.

There are other people in the forums with much better setup and treatment than me, but here are pictures of some portable panels I made.
They're probably a reasonable guide to the kind of thickness and size you'd want.
That stuff is 4"/100mm thick. That's about as light as you'll see.

Yeah, sometimes I'm quick and short....and that's just my answers....
But when I'm at work, I often can't type much. The thing is that foam doesn't do anything for low frequencies, and low frequencies are 99% of the problem 99% of the time. What you need is the proper materials like home insulation, rigid fibreglass, etc....When I have more time later on, I'll try post a link of a video showing someone making their own bass traps, don't have time right now.
