the more the person sweats the sooner it will happen, if the person is very thin and has very thin delicate skin it wont take long, they need to be moved every few hours to keep it from happening.

It varies. 2 to 3 hours without blood flow,then the skin begins to die from lack of oxygen this results in bedsores.Mechanical stress to a bony area of skin and tissue under pressure for a prolonged period of time can also produce bedsores.

It can begin to happen in 2-4 hours. That is why it is so important to frequently turn or move people who cannot move themselves.

It depends. If a sick person isn't moved consistently they can probably get them in a few days.
