Lay means to lay something down. (Please lay the eggs on the table gently.) The past tense of lay is laid.

If you are talking about a person making himself horizontal without having sex, then the word "lays" is not the correct word. The correct word is lie or lies in the present tense and lied in the past tense.
If you are using "lay" to mean "have sex with" or to mean putting something else (generally not oneself, except in the special case of the poem line "now I lay me down to sleep") down, to laying in wait, or certain other meanings, then laid is the past tense.
He LAID on his bed.
The correct way to write it out is
ex: He went into the room, and laid down on his bed.
