The term "space" as it is most commonly used means "vacuum", and is assumed to mean "the absence of any matter" or a "Perfect Vacuum". In that sense the universe is not mostly made of space because there is very little evidence of a perfect vacuum outside of laboratories. However, the majority of the universe is filled with a partial vacuum where there is an extremely low amount of matter (on the order of one or two hydrogen atoms per cubic meter).

If, on the other hand, you are asking if the universe is made of Space as in the area in which matter exists then the answer is still no because not even space can exist within itself. Space, used in this way, describes the shape of the universe.
