    What do you mean 'playing the Qu'ran'? Do you mean she is listening to it on her phone etc? Commented Jun 11, 2017 at 8:59

A similar question has been asked on Islam QA to which in response the below narration was cited showing that reciting the Quran is something you can do while lying down:

Al-Bukhaari (7549) and Muslim (301) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to lie in ‘Aa’ishah’s lap and recite Qur’aan

I don't see why this would be any different to when listening to it, this is confirmed by the below Narration:

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5960. It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) appointed me to guard the zakaah of Ramadaan, and someone came and started to rummage in the food. I took hold of him and said: “I am going to take you to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)”… And he said: “When you go to your bed, recite Aayat al-Kursi, and you will have ongoing protection from Allaah and no devil will come near you until morning comes.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “He spoke the truth even though he is a liar; that was a devil.”
