I’m using 1/4 of a towel for added (removable) filtration between two layers of a cotton mask. I would not want the material against my skin. I have not found a scientific study that recommends the material, only that one by the fashion designers. More reliable info on making face masks can be found in a recent a study published by Wake Forest University: “The best homemade masks achieved 79% filtration as compared to surgical masks (62% to 65%) and N95 masks (97%). But other homemade masks tested performed significantly worse, sometimes demonstrating as little as 1% filtration. The best-performing design was constructed of two layers of high-quality, heavyweight “quilter’s cotton” with a thread count of 180 or more, and those with especially tight weave and thicker thread such as batiks. A double-layer mask with a simple cotton outer layer and an inner layer of flannel also performed well. The inferior performers consisted of single-layer masks or double-layer designs of lower quality, lightweight cotton.”
