Can sleeping in a hammock prevent bed sores?

Asked by Pandora (32212points) July 28th, 2013

I was just wondering if sleeping in a flat like hammock, that is securely locked in place, be the solution to bedridden patients.
I had two aunts who were bedridden till they passed away and their biggest complaints was the bed sores.
So it had me wondering if a hammock that is more like a net be the solution so that their skin breathes or will bed sores happen anyway?
