I was thinking of the same project,my idea was to get a piece of R Tech,cutting it to fit in the window.Just pop it in,it is light weight and stiff enough,and insulated,I have used it in other projects. You could cover it with fabric if you wanted.
One thing I would like to do is cover up the ugly black window surround.
After noodling around with some of the suggestions, and the idea of foam board, this is what I came up with.
I can make a template the exact shape of the window. Cut a couple of layers of the craft-thickness foam board so they fit exactly. Spray paint or cover the backside for UV protection. Adhere to the window with some double sided tape. That will fill in the window recess so there's no flex in the headboard.
Then cut the larger headboard out of a larger sheet of thicker craft foam (not sure if it's big enough) or go with the thin foam board that you linked to.
I just really dislike that window. Too bright, too cold/hot, and the whole shade valance thing is beyond annoying.
