You might try the Foam Factory; they are easy to deal with, inexpensive, have online ordering, quick turn around and can ship anywhere.
They are NOT a typical audiophile-oriented acoustic room treatment supplier. Nevertheless, they are equipped to cut foam for this purpose.

Their main business is in supplying seat cushions for all the Michigan folks who have boats on the nearby lake and cabins "up North". They also do custom mattresses (from "medical memory", visco-elastic foam). They are used to working with custom requests. I'd be willing to bet that even with shipping to Massachusetts, they'd cost you far less than anyone else you might find.

Use your imagination; they'll work with you.

About the blinds you have: Amazing; they inspire suicide!

Rather than absorbing, you might consider diffusing via thick, wooden slat blinds (in a light-colored wood for that "airy" feeling). Good ones are expensive, so you'd want to verify by doing an experiment before investing. They do not visually choke off the room unless completely closed, which you'd likely never do, as they woldn't be much good as diffusers unless partially open.
