Being in the furniture industry, we call it PVC, but there are other names for it too depending on the manufacturing process. All are man made to resemble leather and can be smooth or with textures. you can even get fake suede effect fabric, called faux suede, which is made in the same way . Leather effect fabrics go by the names like PVC, faux leather, bycast leather, bonded leather and vinyl fabric and some cheeky sellers just call it leather. How much do you need? I might be able to get one of my sofa manufactures to send me a 'large' sample, lol. Black, brown and cream are most common colours. If they ever wear away, you can get vinyl sprays in a can form, mixed to any colours. Just spray it on to make it new again.

As for fire regulations, this is a tricky subject, where there are exceptions when the cover needs protection or not, but the fillings will always need to be fire retarding. I would just buy the protected material, it can't be much more expensive.
