With millions of people around the world interested and are playing video games, men and women alike. Then being a video game editor could be a lucrative job. And as reported in an online article, the number of vacancies for video game editors has gone up to 26.14 percent and is expected to increase in the coming years. Interested?

In video editing like editing written materials, you need concentration and this also requires excessive sitting that leaves you in a sedentary situation. In this case, you need to allow yourself to move at times and change your posture from sitting to standing as you edit because if not, prolonged sitting could possibly develop pains in the neck and in the lower back.

This is an adverse effect of doing editing work for a longer period of time. However, you can reduce or prevent discomfort and pains in some parts of your body by choosing an ideal chair for you to use while you edit your games. You can opt to use a gaming chair or an ergonomic chair to have a more comfortable sitting posture. 

But it is better to use one in which you have the option to change your posture as you edit by working in a standing posture to be able to at least move your body and not to engage in sitting posture for long hours which is really bad for you.

One of the best gaming chairs for a video game editor is from FlexiSpot. I can say this because this company is a leader in producing ergonomic home office furniture such as ergonomic chairs that are durable and multifunctional.

I would recommend the Ergonomic Gaming Chair with Retractable Footrest Ri3476.  This gaming chair is packed with features that a video game editor would be able to work comfortably on the chair and at the same time they could also play video games having a cozy and pain-free situation. Some of the stunning features of this gaming chair that are really noteworthy are:

• The armrests are soft-padded and height-adjustable that is also lockable for more comfortable rest for your arms. 
• The headrest and lumbar pillow are removable when you open the button. The height of the lumbar pillow is also height adjustable. With the headrest and lumbar pillow, the pressure is removed from your neck and back
• The footrest located under the seat can be freely retracted. When you play games or work, push the footrest in.
• The chair could be changed into a rocking mode, that is back and forth by pulling out the control handle. It also swivels 360 degrees allowing free movements in the workspace without strain.
