Not sure why we are disagreeing about reflections. As far as I know we want to maintain reflections of the side wall but tone down the reflections directly into your ear, which can muck up imaging. You don't want to make the *whole* wall absorbent, just get *some* absorbtion into the first reflection points and maybe some of the normal listening room junk to add diffraction as well...

... or something like that.
