Deep guy,
I think 2x6's will be plenty strong enough for the sideboards. Actually I think 2x4s would do it - that's what most people I see use.
I've got a different idea for covering the boards, instead of carpet - where I work we made a set and covered the inside, top, bottom and ends with Azek, which is a PVC lumber material a little like starboard, but considerably cheaper. Attached it with countersunk screws. Worked great and should last virtually forever.
