Why does iron feel heavier than feather when their weights are the same?

It has to do to the pounds per sq inch. A 1 pound bar of iron may be the size of a deck of cards while a pound of feathers would have a higher volume and less density. If you compressed the feathers to be the same dimensions as the iron then they should feel like the same weight.

Iron feels heavier than a feather because it is denser. Density is the amount of mass per unit volume, so even if the weights are the same, the iron is more compacted and takes up less space than the feather. As a result, the iron feels more substantial and gives the perception of being heavier.
