1", 2", 3"... What do I need for home studio?

From what I've been reading about home studio and music recording, it seems my first step is to do some acoustical treatment to my music room before I start recording. I understand bass trapping the corners and spot treating the walls with foam, but I'm so new to this that I need help and advice from people with more knowledge. So, here are a few things I am curious about...



1. My music room is really just a spare bedroom. Do I want 1", 2", or 3" foam? I understand it depends on frequencies, but would 2" work fine, or would it be overkill?



2. Is there a difference between foam that says "STUDIO" vs. "Home, Commercial, or Industrial"? Shouldn't all acoustic foam work the same? This is important because it could REALLY cut down on cost.



3. If a company says they vacuum seal their foam to reduce shipping costs, and "to let it expand for a couple days before installing", should this raise any sort of red flag? Shouldn't acoustic foam be stiff, or nah?
