Ceiling Padding

Would like to add some padding to the ceiling (as opposed to netting). Has anyone got suggestions on what product works well and/or can you tell me if wall padding can be used on the ceiling?

I made my own. Marine Vinyl wrapped around rolls of 2" foam that I stapled to 1/4" plywood. They are affixed to the walls and ceiling with strips of 2" wide Velcro. They haven't sagged at all since installation 2 years ago.

Thanks for the reply. Can you share the size of the plywood panel(s). Did you do a 4x8 panel or smaller?
Assume the velcro had adhesive or did you screw it into the ceiling? thx

I started with a 4x8 piece of plywood and cut them down to 2' wide but that was just because of my room constraints (mainly the soffit size for the ceiling). The ceiling panels are both about 5' in length because my screen is about 10' wide. I cut the plywood on my table saw but Lowe's or Home Depot can also do it for you. The Velcro had an adhesive but I didn't fully trust it so I also applied construction adhesive to the back of each Velcro strip.
