I got two samples today one of their 4lb and one of their 5lb...

 

the 4lb was blue and is basically 2"x2"x2" around 1/8" higher on some sides..

the 5lb was light pink and is basically 3"x2"x2

 

the 4lb weighed 12grams and the 5lb weighted 15.5 grams... that seems rather close to me do you think the weights are correct?

When I squeeze them at the same time, the blue one stays squeezed longer while the pink one bounces back quicker. What does that tell you? How do I know how firm either one will be in a full pad? Does it depend on the lower parts too?

Something seems wrong since your denser piece is almost 50% larger and denser, yet it weighs only 29% more.  Are you sure all of your measurements are right?   Someone in a recent post bought the 5lb foam, and I think it measured at the right density.   I think it will be hard to tell from a sample which you will like more, but in general I would go with the more dense one.

Yes, so the 4lb is roughly 5.7lb and the 5lb is around 4.9lb. I will have to reweigh somehow but I did use one of those professional gram scales..
