I'd go with Tyvek as Drew suggested but if you do, crinkle/fold/bend/twist the crap out of it so it's no longer crunchy and sounding or stiff. This gets it softer as well. I used Tyvek to make covers for my Devere 504 and Focomat V35.

I don't have a cover for my dry mount press. I have never felt the need for one. The area where I do my mounting and framing is not dusty. I wonder how many frame shops have them? Seems like if there were a need for them, the dry mount press manufacturers or a third party would offer them. It probably wouldn't be too hard to convince people they need one.

I have a large, Seal Masterpiece 500T that I picked up inexpensively, along with a ton of dry mount tissue. It came with a homemade stand that works fine.
Given the size of this monster, the only place I could keep it is in my garage. So to keep the damp from it, I put an old, thick comforter over the tope. It all seems to work fine. But, I suspect it's not optimum.
I also have my mounting station in the area. Someday, I hope to enclose it all with two temporary walls.
Given the name of your town, I suspect humidity is an issue -- and I hope some others have some ideas, cuz I don't, even though I have a "monster" too!
And I'm glad that Digital Deck Covers doesn't make a cover for the 500T. Given their price for a 210M cover -- $50+ -- I'd end up paying more for the cover than I did for the press itself. I can buy a ton of trash bags for $50.
