Any material that reflects heat from the wall and directs it back into the room will help.
You do not need a 90 degree wall.

If that heat is then deflected out into the middle of the room by something everyone seems to think is a shelfsmile this will also help.

The alternative is, the hot air will rise up the wall to the ceiling.
I don't see how a shelf will magically deflect hot air horizontally into the middle of a room.

Surely it will just rise almost directly in front of the shelf, not to mention around the ends?

You're not by any chance Michael Watson of "Lucid Thinking" (the designers and developers of Radflek) are you??
