Bears that take naps roll over in their sleep. Hibernating bears are only sleeping so therefore they are capable of rolling over during hibernation season without getting pressure sores.

Bears are adapted to that weather, therefore they have a fat layer under their skin, just like whales, and the fur protects the direct contact to the harsh environment.

no because there is a layer of fat under their skin that acts as a cusion ... just like sleeping on a matress...

I think that they do periodically roll over in their dens to prevent this.
