This isn't a good translation. We would say, I'm lying down on the sofa and it would still have the sense of movement.
My impression in this sentence is that the action has been completed and that the person is already in the position of lying down. Is this correct way to understand "fekszem le" (or "lefekszem") versus "fekszem"?
"Lefekszem" is moving, "fekszem" is stationary. They are not one-to-one correspondents to the English continuous or perfect tenses.

Rejected couch... reported. At least where I live, there's no difference between a sofa and a couch (except that we'd never really say sofa)
