I would say lying too.. laying just isn't right.

I would say "I was lying on the sofa" But if someone joined me I would say "he lay down beside me".
That probably doesn't help confused

I was laying on the sofa. I wanted to lay down.

Don't hens lay eggs?

Doesn't anyone know the difference?

It's annoying!
