Most good upholstery shops can get FAA approved materials and for not too
much more cost. It's much about weight and toxic fumes when burned. CYA

The requirement in general is that the materials be fire retardent. If you
have a CAR 3 certificated aircraft, then there is NO requirement to use FAA
approved or tested materials.

If you have a FAR23 certificated machine, then you will have to use approved
materials. There are lots of approved materials out there and even if not, if
you have a resistant material, having it burn tested isn't too involved (other
than the charge).
