N95's are considered the best but even a cloth mask is actually better than no mask. Don't make perfection the enemy of good.

Cloth masks protect others from you, they do next to nothing to protect you from others.

Effectiveness of cloth face masks to prevent viral spread: a meta-analysis

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 weeks ago

Cloth face masks were found to have significantly poorer filtering performance than medical/surgical masks and N95 masks, but only if non-cloth masks were properly fitted. Our results illustrate the necessity of using well-fitting medical/surgical or N95-typed masks to prevent viral spread, although some allowance should be made in circumstances where higher compliance with cloth mask mandates are expected.
