what are the tricks for giving a mesh thickness?

the way i use to give mesh thickness is bevel , however bevel persist to give thickness to mesh per surface and that creates a lot of unnecessary surfaces/vertices, any smart way/trick(s) to thicken the object as a whole not its surfaces ?
of course the application to that may vary, creating contents such as cloths and furniture and several objects that should be hollow from inside.
