The insulation they put in our walls last year was a sort of feathery kind of product, which I got to see quite a lot of flying around in our back garden!0

Most companies who do CWI use this - glass fibre, which is blown into the cavity. Not sure a lot of them give you a choice as to what they use, as their machines are calibrated to use X amount of the insulation to fill a particular cavity wall size.0

Sorry....I have a sun lounge with thin walls. I want to put insulation on the inside and plasterboard over it. Wool or polystyrene?0

So you don't want cavity wall insulation then because you've got no cavity?0 -
I will have when I cover it with plaster board. I just want something around 50mm width and am trying to find out what's best to use...0

Yes, but you don't have a cavity to fill with a traditional cavity insulation injection solution.
I think Screwfix do rolls of stuff that might help, but you could always use fibre glass loft stuff.0
