Why do a fifty gram metal piece feel heavier than a fifty grams of cotton wool?

It is the pressure rather than the mass that feels greater. The mass of a 50 gram metal piece acts on a small surface area and so exerts a greater pressure.
If you were to put a 50g piece of metal in a string bag, or a 50g ball of wool, and lift the bas using only the string and in such a way that you could not see the size of bag's content, you would not know the difference.
