I have being doing the double for a few weeks now.
The top neoprene mask helps hold the cloth mask in place better and it makes for less fogging of the glasses, too.
On NPR, they recommended wearing the N95/KN95 mask on the outside with the 3-layer procedure/dust mask below. I put the procedure mask on top. My KN95s slip down when they're put on over a procedure mask and it actually fogs my glasses more to do it this way.
Also, my ears hurt from the bands after a couple of hours and my glasses slip. Doubling the mask doubles the pain and slippage. BUT I can take care of that with a silicone extender that has nubs to wrap the cords over and it turns out that I can use it for the cords from both masks at the same time so long as they're each using different nubs.
Lots of extenders on Amazon:

...Little that I can do about the pain at the bridge of my nose from the masks pushing down on it all day. Thinking about using one of those face-protectors... But two masks, an extender AND a face-protector seems like a bit much.
