Cover Hot Water Pipes

The pipes that carry hot water from the radiator and run through my bedroom are insanely hot and let off so much heat that my bed frame and anything that is near them becomes dangerous to touch. Is there something I can use to cover the pipes up that won't produce a risk and won't look too terrible? I thought I might be able to use insulation foam, but I can't find anywhere that advertises it for that use. Thanks!

bach1213, Welcome to the DIY Forums.
I would suggest visiting a heating contractor or Heating Supply store. Since this is a small job, it's not likely you would have it done. Check the types of insulation available. You may go with fiberglas insulation that comes in short lengths. The covering can vary from a paper type to plastic. Good luck.
