As a fact thats more dangerous than numbness and rigidity the body might experience. like what Kirito looked like walking like that. ANd those beds that the LN showed went over all this issues and even have a the property to dispose of body wastes. If you think that after 2 years it does become an issue.

Its an anime I know, reality can kick out the door, and I have no problem with it. If the beds didnt existed in the LN I wouldnt have even typed this.
Bedsores is the correct term and yes it can even show up after a day of total inactivety. But they can on the other hand be prevented on coma patients either by manually turning them regularily or with a water bed. The future tech gel bed Kirito got to lie on should deal with that with no problem at all.
