Keep your dimensions in your wallet. Check used furniture and yard sales for table Pads. My mother’s, and my generation often had very expensive, rigid table pads custom made to protect their mahogany or walnut dining tables.
You fold them up and stack against the wall or in a closet. You will need to use a tablecloth for company.
Unless you make leaves like an extension on a table, you can use 3/4 inch thick plywood. It comes in a 4 x 8 sheet. I think anything that large, unless it is in pieces that would have to be framed, will be heavy.
If you want to use wood, it will be a bit heavy for one person to handle, but it would work the best. If you could find a rigid plastic, you may be able to use that, but you may have to use some kind of supports to prevent bowing down in the middle.
A sheet of 1/2" plywood cut to the dimensions of the pool table with wooden cleats attached to the bottom to keep it from sliding around. "Heavy" is in the back of the lifter (like beauty being in the eye of the beholder) but if you make it any lighter, flexing under the weight of a dish would be annoying. You may even find the 1/2" plywood to be too flexible.
You can use a sheet of plywood and frame it out to overlap the pool table top. If you use birch, oak, or maple plywood all you need is to stain and polyurethane it. If you use regular plywood you stain, paint, or cover it with anything you want.
