When pricing burlap and other fabrics, I considered painter's drop cloth from Home Depot as well - pretty cheap per sq. ft. when buying 12'x15' sheets to cut to size. If you don't buy real thick cloth, you can still blow air thru it - is this a reliable test of the fabrics' acoustical transparency?
If you can breath through it, it'll work. Shop for price and aesthetic appeal - and as Joel points out, a bit of stretchy can make it a easier to get a sharp look - especially if upholsterery aint your forte.
