If you are strapped for cash. Blue board foam from your local contractor/building supply can make a nice cover. Get foam 2" thick or thicker (often used on commercial building roofs). It is quite rigid and stron, and will insulate very well. I would not bother with the thinner 1/2" foam, but it would probably work for a short while. Just remember that a sheet of foam will not prevent anyone from falling into your spa. A child (or drunk friend) could climb or fall onto the foam and break through causing death, serious injury, wet underwear...
