A tension mounting assembly, comprising:

• a rail;
• and
• a tension mount assembly which depends from the rail by hanging therefrom, the tension mount assembly comprising at least a base portion and a mount portion which depends from the base portion by hanging therefrom,
• wherein each of the base portion and the mount portion comprise a substantially rigid, non-flammable structural support element,
• wherein at least one of these substantially rigid, non-flammable structural support elements is at least partially covered in a cushioning material in regions at or near to where the base portion and the mount portion are in contact with each other,
• wherein the base portion comprises a body having an upperside and an underside,
• wherein the tension mount assembly further comprises:
• at least a pair of bolts, and for each bolt a nut, where the bolts extend shank-first from the underside of the body of the base portion through the bolt holes, wherein each bolt is secured by one of the nuts positioned on the upperside of the body of the base portion;
• and
• a compression spring disposed over the shank of each of the bolts and between the head of each bolt and the load bearing support for the base portion, and
• wherein the upperside of the body of the base portion comprises a socket of at least a hemispherical shape formed therein, and the body further comprising a through aperture in the socket extending between the upperside and the underside of the body, the mount portion comprising an end portion comprising a bulbous shape, and a stem extending from the end portion, wherein the bulbous end portion of the mount portion nests in the socket of the base portion while the stem extends through the through aperture in the socket, the through aperture being sized to provide a clearance around the stem.
