We used a product called "homosote", which has worked very well. It looked like pressed fibers or something, is gray and comes in 4x8 sheets. It is an insulation board [actually, my parents used it in our cabin in the 50's!], but the lumber company told us it is also used for bulletin boards. Unlike foam insulation boards and foamcore, it doesn't seem to break down around places where pins are frequently placed, i. e. eye & arm level & it has been up several years. We covered ours with a heavy canvas type fabric which was flanneled on the back, called canton cloth. I didn't want the grids. Most things do stay up without pins, but I use it a lot for working on clothing and once there is quite bit pieced it can be too heavy for just the flannel board effect. Also I'll fold a large piece of fabric to audition it, and so pin that up.
Hope this helps.
