: I seem to remember reading somewhere of someone that covered a

I agree with the Spray 3M 77 recommendation, though I've never done this particular job with it.
Another fabric that I've seen recommended for covering foam is the black stretchy knit fabric used for speaker grille covers, though I'm not sure how durable it would be.
